The issue resurfaced in public discourse after Duterte sent out tirades to Carpio and challenged the former to a debate. However, immediately a day after, Duterte backed out and sent Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque as his substitute. Due to the dramatic turn of events, the debate did not push through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carpio commented that Duterte\u2019s latest public remark discrediting the Philippines\u2019 2016 win in the Permanent Court of Arbitration\u2014which recognized our territorial claims to disputed islands in the WPS and nullified China\u2019s imaginary nine-dash line\u2014 as \u201cjust a piece of paper\u201d is an impeachable offense. But impeachment is unrealistic when the majority of the Congress professed allegiance to Duterte, despite several instances of obviously siding with China in stand-offs and issues against Filipinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CPP said that, in exchange for cheap yet superprofitable Sinovac doses from China, Duterte has been compromising our national sovereignty using the pretext of \u201cfriendship\u201d and \u201cmutual respect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They further asserted that the current administration did not side with Filipino fishermen who were constantly harassed by Chinese state forces encroaching the Kalayaan Group of Islands. In 2019, a Chinese vessel collided with and sank a Filipino fishing boat, F\/B Gem-Ver 1, near Recto Bank in the WPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much worse, the Philippines\u2019 claims to disputed islands are compromised by stupid remarks from high-ranking officials. Roque peddled lies to the public when he said that the Julian Felipe Reef, just 175 nautical miles of Bataraza, Palawan, is not part of the Philippine exclusive economic zone (EEZ)\u2014areas that are 200 nautical miles from the shoreline and considered part of our patrimony. The remark was made after dozens of Chinese ships were stationed in the said reef last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The revolutionary movement led by the CPP insisted that \u201cDuterte\u2019s obsequiousness to China is unacceptable to the Filipino people. It is nothing less than national treachery that he has allowed China to claim Philippine territorial seas and despoil and plunder our natural wealth. He has betrayed, in general, the national interests of the entire Philippines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Communist rebels also slammed the Duterte administration&#8217;s use of the Armed Forces of the Philippines\u2019 (AFP) forces and weapons to aim at its political opponents and critics rather than defending Philippine waters. This week, the Bicol Regional Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (RTF-ELCAC) is reported to implement focused military operations in 10 barangays in Camarines Sur as part of its P19-billion counter-insurgency program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that Duterte\u2019s national treachery is exposed with his staunch defense of China\u2019s occupation and serial attacks on the people, the Maoist revolutionaries called on the masses to defend Philippine sovereignty and rights by organizing a broad united front.<br>\u201cDuterte\u2019s [treason] must be condemned, made to account, ousted and punished for his betrayal,\u201d CPP added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CPP expounded that the people should mobilize in the streets and utilize other avenues of political action to express their frustration with Duterte\u2019s lopsided foreign policy and subservience to dominant foreign interests. They also ordered the New People\u2019s Army (NPA) to launch more tactical offensives against the AFP as military battalions prioritize suppressing dissent rather than militarized encroachment in our naval borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CPP emphasized that \u201cdefending the Philippine seas and resources against Chinese aggression and plunder form part of the continuing struggle of the people to resist imperialist domination and to end the Philippine neocolonial status and attain genuine national freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px;\"><em>Featured Image courtesy of Kuris-kuris.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sinag.press\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sinag-logo-black-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sinag.press\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sinag-logo-black-1.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-935\" width=\"63\" height=\"63\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The revolutionary movement led by the CPP insisted that \u201cDuterte\u2019s obsequiousness to China is unacceptable to the Filipino people.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1150,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,11],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[126],"class_list":["post-1143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","category-news","post_format-post-format-image"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sinag.press\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/de-1.png","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4201,"url":"https:\/\/sinag.press\/news\/2022\/03\/29\/reds-wish-dutertes-last-birthday-outside-prison-cell\/","url_meta":{"origin":1143,"position":0},"title":"Reds wish Duterte&#8217;s &#8220;last birthday outside prison cell&#8221;","author":"Staff","date":"29 March 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"President Rodrigo Duterte celebrated his 77th birthday yesterday with a message from the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP): to enjoy his birthday as this might be his last outside of a prison cell.\u00a0 CPP Chief Information Officer Marco Valbuena stated Duterte only has a few months left in his\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/sinag.press\/news\/category\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sinag.press\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/sinag-web-banner-13-1.png?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sinag.press\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/sinag-web-banner-13-1.png?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sinag.press\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/sinag-web-banner-13-1.png?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sinag.press\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/sinag-web-banner-13-1.png?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sinag.press\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/sinag-web-banner-13-1.png?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sinag.press\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/sinag-web-banner-13-1.png?resize=1400%2C800&ssl=1 4x"},"classes":[]},{"id":4485,"url":"https:\/\/sinag.press\/news\/2022\/05\/09\/buong-lakas-na-wakasan-ang-tiraniya\/","url_meta":{"origin":1143,"position":1},"title":"Buong-lakas na wakasan ang tiraniya","author":"Staff","date":"9 May 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Ito ang panawagan ng Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas (CPP) sa mamamayan ngayong araw ng eleksyon.
